Investigators disclose link between reporter and source

Investigators testified Wednesday that they could determine a link between a former Boeing employee now on trial and a Seattle Times business reporter who wrote stories about the aerospace company using internal documents, writes Andrea James of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

James wrote, “Anthony Maus, a senior manager for Boeing’s investigations division, testified in King County Superior Court that his team examined leaks to Times aerospace reporter Dominic Gates, who wrote articles that relied on internal Boeing documents.

“Maus said he has analyzed thousands of documents confiscated from Eastman’s home computer. He showed jurors more than 100 PowerPoint slides that detailed which of those documents he believes Gates used for his articles.

“The Times has said that it would not confirm whether Eastman was a source.

“Each of the 16 charges against Eastman refers to documents that were the basis of up to 13 Times articles, according to testimony.”
